Description
The 86-97 Ranger & 91-94 Explorer Long-Travel Suspension Kit Stage 6 is a high performance long-travel Front and Rear Suspension Kit for Rangers, Explorers, and Bronco IIs. This kit converts the TTB suspension to use a 12″ Coil-over performance shock. This Kit is built for chase and prerunning down in Baja!
The 19 inches of front suspension travel soaks up the whoops, and delivers an amazing ride even through the roughest terrain. This Suspension kit is built for heavy off-road use, no matter if it’s on hard or soft packed dirt.
Front
The wider beams will increase your track width for more wheel travel and stability. They allow your wheels to travel on a greater arc, just like our Extended Radius Arms. Pick between 4.5″ or 6” extended Dana 35 Beams. Each beam receives full plating along with a front gussets, and the pivot receive 1″ uniball cups welded into them. The Cut N’ Turned beams allow for proper camber. We weld the remaining TTB welds that the factory does not complete.
Our 1 1/4″ Extended Radius Arms will bring back the correct caster and allows the wheel to travel on a greater arc.
The suspension system requires a 12″ coil over shock to keep your factory brake booster. 17″ of 4wd wheel travel is possible with 4.5″ over stock beams and 19″ 4wd of wheel travel is possible with 6″ over beams.
This kit comes with custom 4340 Chromoly Dutchman axles for reliable performance.
Some Explorers require radius arm pivot boxes to be welded to frame due to boxed frame design.
Rear
The Deaver G50 or (G50E, F31) progressive leaf springs are paired with our Explorer extended Shackles, allowing 16 inches of wheel travel. Controlling all of that travel is from two 12″ 2.5 King Remote Reservoir shocks (Explorer Only). This kit comes with two different shock configurations. Either a smooth body or 3-tube bypass shock. The bypass shock allows for a better suspension tuning. The rear shocks are mounted to a W-I-Y Under-the-Bed shock mount.
The Rangers and Bronco IIs will require a custom bed cage. We recommend using a 2.5 x 16″ (Smooth body or 3-tube Bypass) King shock to use with our leaf springs. If you would like to purchase rear shocks please give us a call.
–The Rangers and Bronco IIs do not come with rear Shackles or Shocks–
